Polar Bear Dip & Dash

In 2009, twelve staff and family members gathered on East End Beach in Portland and plunged into the icy, cold Atlantic Ocean to raise funds and awareness of NRCM's work to curb climate-changing pollution and support a clean energy future for Maine.

Since then, we have had a polar plunge at East End Beach each year on New Year's Eve Day. There’s now the added bonus of a 5k “warm-up” run, if you like.
